  • Publication number: 20240294284
    Abstract: A wrap assembly for containing goods. The wrap assembly has a stacker wrap that has a first side, a second side, a back side, a first bottom flap, and a second bottom flap. The stacker wrap is configured to be folded into a folded configuration to provide a cavity for stacking goods within the cavity. The first bottom flap and second bottom flap have a plurality of coupling features that maintain the stacker wrap in the folded configuration while providing a substantially planar surface with both the first bottom flap and the second bottom flap.

  • Patent number: 8679691
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting an intermittent failure of an injector that injects hydrogen gas fuel into the anode side of a fuel cell stack in a fuel cell system. The method includes operating the injector at a fixed injector pulse width and frequency, which causes the stack to generate a constant current, and therefore, a constant fuel consumption rate. While at a constant current, the injector is commanded to a constant duty cycle and frequency that matches the rate of fuel consumption in the fuel cell system. The resulting fuel pressure feedback is then monitored, and if it diverges from a defined nominal value, either in a constant or oscillatory manner, it can be determined that the injector has an intermittent opening failure. In one embodiment, the determination of the injector failure is performed during a shut-down sequence of the fuel cell system.
